The Trade i'm Hons. Safes.

"We do big trade in house safes" 70
marked safe manufacturer to reporter.
II might say truthfulIy that il represents
one-tenth Of the entire safe industry Of the
country In some cases the safe Is walled In,
but in more modest families it is a movable
safe, mainly used for plate, and kept in the
dining room, sometimes finished in a way as
to look very much like q sideboard. There IS
very little attempt to make them either fire
proof or burglar proof. As a general thing
they are made simply OF boiler iron, with
combination locks That is quite enough to
battle the ordinary house burglar, while the
high toned bank burglar wouldn't waste his
time over it, as he knows the haul wouldn't
be worth his trouble. le.-Philadelphia Call

RAILWAY THIEVES IN ITALY.
An English Travellers CompIaint-Nee

An English Travellers CompIaint-Seed
of the Baggage Check System.
English travellers in Italy have now and
then had occasion to perceive that their lug
gage was not safe from depredations which
could only be charged to the railway en-
ployes, but complaints have always been
fruitless even to diminish the number Of
thefts, except for a short period, some years
since, when a lady of the diplomatic world
had her jewels taken neatly out of her trunk,
which caused official action and detection OF
the dishonest officials, when for q time the
thefts were less common. The effect Of the
investigation, which then took place, how
ever, passed away, and now we have another
princess robbed and another inquisition, for
railway robberies, like collisions, require vic
tins in high positions to secure the attention
of the authorities.
In the last ten years have had my luggage
rifed five times before learned the way to
treat it, which is, first, to put nothing IN the
luggage which can be of value to the thieves:
and, secondly, to see that the locks are such
as cannot be tampered with without showing
it when the luggage is delivered Some eau
tious people carry leadzn seals and pineers
with cipher, and seal all the luggage as If 1t
were going from Rome TO Florence. This Is
effective.
The thieves have access to the luggage vans,
and work while the train is in motion They
generally drive out the pin Of the hasp of the
lock or those of the hinges, go carefully
through the contents, put them back as care
fully, after having taken what they want,
and put the pins of lock or hinges back in
their place The thefts are generally limited
to luggage going through Italy or that which
evidently belongs to foreigners. Ii box has
luggage tickets on it showing that it goes
back and forth continually in Italy the
thieves let it alone The owner Of the Ing
gage thus does not discover the theft till too
far from the thief to complain. Complaint
is, however, of no use. In one personal ex-
perience, in which my wife's trunk had been
delicately overlooked and go extracted from
an envelope in a writing case at the bottom,
where it was put at Turin, everything els
having been carefully replaced / male
complaint to the station master at Venice
as soon as we found that the money waS
missing, and the magnanimous official
laughed at me, saying: aIf you fear for Jour
effects take them into the carriage with you"
at which the whole staff hav-hawed uproar-
iously; it was so good joke to propose to
take lady's trunk into the passenger car

to amend the act creating Yellowstone

two and one-half. The other is for

cred that the supports to the gallery

when the announcement was publicly
made, accompanied by a request from
Hon. Ignatius DoInelly who was tenn

good deal of q joker and as the request
was made in u far from serious name

many who looked upon 1t as simply a
dodge IN permit of the elaboration Of
the measure 10 secret, actually refused
to leave and had to be forcibIy elected
